SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 732,924, dated July '7, 1903. Application filed February 7 1908. Serial No. 142,331. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN B. CUZNER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Glastonbury, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Tobacco- Hangers, of which the following is a specification. I Figure 1 is a general side view of the preferred form of my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar View to Fig. 1,. but with the link, hooks, and rod folded against the lath. Fig. 3 is a View of a modification.

In. the drawings, a denotes a lath similar to those used for hanging tobacco. b is a link suspended therefrom and having attached to it the rod or wire 0 or its equivalent, upon which the tobacco is strung. In the claim this part 0 will be referred to as the string, although it is preferably made from stifi material, such as Wire rod.

d e are hooks depending from the lath and provided as a support for the rod or wire, as

clearly indicated in the drawings.

The manner of use of the device is readily seen.

shown swung up against the lath. This provision is made in order that the laths when not in use may be stacked up and occupy a minimum amount of room.

The modification illustrated in Fig. 3 is similar to the preferred form shown in Figs. l and 2, with the exception that the links and hooksare double instead of single. This double link is shown at b and pivoted to the top of the lath, as at 17 When the lath is not in use, these double links and hooks are turned to the position indicated in dotted lines, permitting the laths to be conveniently and compactly stored away.

I claim as my inventiou- The combination withthe lath, of the depending link, the string seoured at one end thereof, and one or more depending hooks for supporting the opposite end of said string, said link and hooks-being pivotally supported on the lath.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

. JOHN B. CUZNER.
